All Worlds Beg the Villainess to Act Like a Human

Chapter 43: Chapter 43: No One Can Take Her Throne (43)

”Great King, how are you?”

Ling Shishi looked at the man stumbling backward several steps, then falling to the ground in an awkward and unsightly manner. She didn’t actually want to help him. However, she had no choice but to rely on Hee Qingshan; they were in the same boat.

”How could this happen?”

Hee Qingshan had overheard the palace attendants quietly discussing the events that occurred in the court today. In a fit of anger, Yun Qianyan dismissed over a dozen ministers—no, rather, she directly sent them to the Heavenly Prison. Furthermore, these ministers were facing charges and their families were to be confiscated.

He vaguely heard the palace attendants say that these ministers had plotted to harm the royal lineage, which was why they were sent to the Heavenly Prison.

Hee Qingshan’s mind was in chaos. Were those people useless?

There were so many of them, and yet they couldn’t even kill Xun Zihuai and Hee Wenqian?

The ministers, now imprisoned, were also filled with bitterness. They really couldn’t do it.

The people they sent out always inexplicably died, not as if killed by an expert, but as if poisoned, with bodies turned black and bleeding from their orifices, in particularly horrifying death states.

After several attempts, they no longer dared to act, wanting to send a message to Hee Qingshan, but every time the message was sent in, it was like sinking into the sea, and they couldn’t act anymore. Fortunately, the messages were conveyed using codes, so even if caught, they wouldn’t know who the message was for.

They thought if they did nothing, nothing would happen. Little did they know that the day after Xun Zihuai and the Prince returned, they would be accused by Your Majesty. Faced with incontrovertible evidence, they had no arguments to make.

With their hats stripped off, they collapsed in a dejected heap on the ground, looking up at the authoritative woman seated on the dragon throne, they felt regret for the first time.

Your Majesty was so wise, brave in battle, and strategic—why had they been so foolish not to be loyal to her and instead supported Hee Qingshan?

Ah, it was because Hee Qingshan said, ”Yun Qianyan is merely a woman, we are men, how can we be under a woman’s rule and let a woman govern us?”

Hee Qingshan also said if he became the emperor, he would definitely promote their positions again, and they believed him, since from the beginning they had been following Hee Qingshan.

Looking back now, the moment Yun Qianyan ascended to the throne, Hee Qingshan lost.

He couldn’t compete against this Empress Emperor, yet unfortunately, he didn’t realize it, and his outcome wouldn’t be favorable.

”Oh, they all accuse Hee Qingshan of orchestrating this?” Qiann Yan heard the palace attendants reporting that the criminals in the Heavenly Prison were ready to reveal their mastermind, and she wasn’t surprised at all.

Since they didn’t succeed, these people would naturally blame Hee Qingshan, turning on him like mad dogs.

She wanted to see what evidence these criminals could present to prove Hee Qingshan was behind this. Hee Qingshan had been cautious in this matter, and in the intercepted letters, there was no way to prove his identity.

If they could produce evidence this time, she could change the children’s surname, and not only the court’s ministers but the entire world would see it as rightful.

”Issue a decree, summon all civil and military officials to the palace for important matters.”

”Have the State Preceptor, the Eldest Prince, and the Princess come as well.”

”Bring King Ning Shan too.”

An hour later, everyone was present, all gathered in the court.

The court ministers couldn’t resist glancing at Hee Qingshan. They seldom saw him; since the Empress’s ascension, they had almost never seen him.
